In 1985, aware of the near-total absence of women in Congress, Ellen R. Malcolm launched EMILY?s List, a powerhouse political organization that seeks to ignite change by getting women elected to office. The rest is riveting history: Since then, EMILY?s List has helped elect 19 women Senators, 11 governors, and 110 Democratic women to the House. Incorporating exclusive interviews with Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Tammy Baldwin, and others, When Women Win delivers stories of some of the toughest political contests of the past three decades, including the historic victory of Barbara Mikulski as the first Democratic woman elected to the Senate in her own right, and Elizabeth Warren?s dramatic Senate win. When Women Win is both a page-turning political saga and an important look at the effects of women?s engagement in politics. « less
